About Me

* ALL ADDS ACCEPTED * Ultimately I will find technical, experimental and progressive musicians * Looking to join and start new projects * Jordan is inspired by King Crimson, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, Ephel Duath, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Primus, Sikth, Meshuggah, Miles Davis, Hella, Planet X, Talking heads, Jack Nicholson, Salvador Dali, Al di meola, - Grassroots, the trees, Zen, Yoga, Mudvayne - L.D.50 etc 311- grassroots Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E, Deftones - Adrenaline, Alice Coltrane, and Indian music the MOST .... He is a paranormal spirit investigator through Extra sensory perception with occasional necromancy's, Astronomy space explorer, writer, Solo audio-collage, poet, visual sketch image processor/drawer, inventor, spiritual philosopher, musician and artist, Jordan Hunter meshes hyper-rock rhythms with an eclectic, abstract mix of extreme jazz, psychedelic, progressive metal, ambient, and fusion. He records all the instruments you hear himself. 260 + songs have been recorded by Concensus Down and there are many more to come in the future. Each song sounds different than the last. Formats include a blend of acidic, experimental, progressive, technical, melodic, spastic / sporadic, random / inane + Bizarre, peculiar, eerie/strange arrangements. Being a spiritual minimalist , meditating all day allows you to portray your ideas more lucidly and clear. * ALL ADDS ACCEPTED * Expressing emotions through a fostex, 8-track recorder, Jordan uses Jackson guitars, and pearl + Roland drums and has been playing since age 7, recording / experimenting since 15, currently 19 in community college for philosophy. A never-ending infinite life with massive amounts of daily creations enhances our ability to invent a new style, genre or sound. I am looking for a group/band to play live and record with, who already has music written and is willing to play my songs and create new ones together. I will join your band as well playing drum set, guitar ( electric, acoustic and bass ) , keyboard / grand piano, percussion ( Djembe, didgerido, bongos, vocals ( a more unique sound ), or as a DJ ( mini turntables ). Used in the worst song ever, spiral, digital, etc. ) I could really add to the acid of your sound and could contribute an extreme range of sounds influenced by an eclectic list of different composers, arrangements, creators and inventors. Stylistically I am looking for technical metal and progressive Jazz... 1,000 BPM madness ( Necrophagist, Brain Drill etc. ) My sound is created with the intent of redefining psychedelic through usage of effects. Speaking through experience I am open to jamming with anybody and everybody. As far as structure and tightness go I am far from most of the artists and musicians I listen to, but Concensus Down is more of a unique sound. There is always room for improvement. www.soundclick.com/concensusdown for more free downloads! *ALL ADDS ACCEPTED* I am always looking for experimental progressive technical Jazz and/or technical death/grind metal or funk, blues, soul, hip hop ( Aesop rock, diggable planets, a tribe called quest ) bluegrass, ELECTRONICA/IDM ( Amon Tobin, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin ) , nature/water sounds, Chanting, *classic progressive rock* ( Pink floyd ( psychedelic ), Hendrix ( rock n roll ), Crimson ( prog ), Yes ( happy ) Crosby Stills Nash and Neil Young ( beautiful ). If you live in the Maryland area and can smash/crash/demolish/obliterate the closed and locked doors of a mainstream sounding universe we can organize a jam session. * ALL ADDS ACCEPTED*~Jordan and Ashley Saks
